The employment OF cast-iron columns
as man supports has been greatly re-
stricted at Berlin by q regulation issued
recently from the architects depart
ment of the police authorities or that
city, causing great CONSERVATION
amongst builders. Tie cause OF the
new order is said to have been a dis
covery in connection with a fire last
winter in the Alte-JacobStrasse, when
it was found that the hot cast-lron col.
umns had been cracked by the effect OF
the cold water Jet playing upon them,
so that the upper stories OF the house
were as near collapsing as they could
possibly be. The state of the buildings
In the Leipzlgerstrasse and other locali-
ties where shop property abounds has
also contributed towards the issue OF
the regulation. 1t happens almost
uniformly that the whole ground
story, and frequently also the first door,
form one open space, above which are
inhabited floors, which have besides a
plan quite different from those beneath
them, when, Of COURSE no account is
taken of the old principle Of "pillar
upon pillar" The dividing walls OF
the upper floors rest uniformly upon
cast iron columns and the safety OF the
family ~inhabittpg those floors depends
entirely upon the soupdness OF the iron
supports, which, as has been pointed
o1t above, have proved to be unreliable
In case of fire. The Berlin police au-

BROWN THICKENING FOR SOUP
This is easily prepared, Is always ready,
and will keep a long time, besides
which it gives a far richer flavor than
any other way of using flour thicken-
ing. Put into a small saucepan half a
pound of butter, when hot stir into 1t
half a pound of very dry flour; stir this
over the fire till a pale brown, taking
great care it does not burn. One large
tablespoonful thickens a quart of soup.

fall back after a few years and are

lightly with a fail and thus get the

the Blue Cut train robbery. He called on
his old counsel, and was warmly welcom-
ed. The ex-bandit was then introduced to
Judges Normi,e and Noonan, of the Grim

officers and attorneys. He was lionized
by his new friends, and modestly refused
several invitations to make a social debut.

deeply interested in. He has read Shaks-
peare thoroughly and quotes long passages
correctly. He is nearly six feet high,
slender, with a clear blue eye, light nous
tache, light hair, about forty-two years
old, and is credited with having killed
fully $50 men since he started in with

Without going S o far as to say that ne
4 a is a poet who cannot write a good
song, ii may certainly be said that Nc
ma can write a good song who is not a
good poet. Heartiness and melody-the
two requisites Of a song which never can
De dispensed With-can. rarely be COM
passed, it seems, BY one and the same IT,
dlyidual. In botn these qualities the
Elizabethian poets stand pre-eminent,
though even with them the melody is not
SO singable as it might be made. Among
the more prominent poets Of our time,
Mr.. Browning, though be has heartiness
in plenty, betrays q love Of rugged con-
s%onantal effects such as would always pre-
vent him from writinga frst-rate song.
Here, indeed, is the browning difficulty Of
s~ong-writing. An extreme simplicity Of
structure and Of diction must be accom-.
panied by an instructive apprehension Of
the melodic capabilities of verbal sounds
and Of what Samuel Lover, the Irish song
writer, called singing" words, which Is
rare in this country, and which seems to
belong to the Celtic rather than to the
Saxon ear. "Ehe song-writer," says
Lover, must frame his song q open
vowels, with as few cultural o. Missing
sounds as possible, and he must be con-
tent sometimes to sacrifice grandeur and
vigor to the necessity OF selecting singing
words and not reading words"
